Are there bones in an elephant's trunk?
no there are no bones on elephant's trunk. there are only muscles and ligaments.
How muscle are connected to the bone?
Only skeletal muscles are connected to bones. They don't attach directly to the bones, but are attached by tendons that emerge at the ends of the muscle groups or individual muscles. Smooth muscles are organ muscles, and cardiac muscle is specialized conductive muscle of the heart. Answer courtesy of gallop
Do ligaments go from one bone to another or only attach to one bone?
Bone to bone. :)
How do ligaments and skeletal system work together?
The tendons are part of the muscular system!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another answer would be , the tendons are the connection between the muscular and skeletal system , being connective tissue ,neither bone or muscle , but since the greater part of most tendons are attached to the muscle , and are only anchored to bone, then that would make them part of the muscular system.
In the knee the ends of the leg bone are held together by?
Ligaments always hold bones to bones while tendons only hold muscles to bones.
Are there ligaments in fingers or are they only in feet?
There are ligaments in both fingers and feet. Ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect bones to each other, providing stability and support to joints. In the fingers, ligaments help to connect the various bones that make up the hand and allow for movement and flexibility.
What are fibrous bands that connect muscle to bones?
A tendon (or sinew) is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone. A tendon is capable of withstanding tension. Tendons are similar to ligaments and fascia as they are both made of collagen, except that ligaments join one bone to another bone, and fascia connect muscles to other muscles. Tendons and muscles work together and can only exert a pulling force. At each end of a muscle, the collagen fibers come together to form a bundle of fibers called a tendon that attaches them to bones. If it forms a broad tendinous sheet it is called an aponeurosis.
Why are ligaments part of the skeletal system?
Some people confuse tendons with ligaments. The Musculoskeletal System includes the bones, the ligaments, the tendons, and the muscles. When split up, the ligaments are not part of the Muscular System because they connect bones to bones or bones to joints, which the bones and joints are only part of the Skeletal System. People confuse the ligaments as being part of the Muscular System because the tendons connect bones tom muscles, so tendons are part of the Skeletal and Muscular Systems, but ligaments are not.
What tissues attach muscles to bones?
Ligaments connect bone to bone and tendons connect muscle to bone .
Is your skeleton system made of only bones?
Yes, the skeletal system is primarily made up of bones, but it also includes other structures like cartilage and ligaments. Cartilage provides cushioning between bones and helps with movement, while ligaments connect bones together at joints to provide stability and support.
Most skeletal muscles attach to bones via?
The only way that skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons. There is more than one place that the bone is can attach to the tendon.
What are joints held together with?
Joints are held together by ligaments, which are tough bands of tissue that connect bones to other bones. Ligaments help stabilize and support the joint during movement, preventing excessive motion that could lead to injury.
